MARC LEPINE: CRIMINAL OR FOLK HERO?
Most folk heroes started out as criminals, so they say. In 1989, it was clear to most people what Marc Lepine was: a criminal and a mass murderer. Twenty years later, it has changed: it is far from clear now. The simple fact that his name has not been forgotten and that his visibility, dare we say popularity, has increased, says a lot not only about the man but about the general public and its perceptions.

Report from Quebec: the war goes on

Reduced to a war of words these days, the struggle between the upstarts of the ''Collectif'' and the masculist establishment of l'Après-Rupture still rages on nonetheless. John Gisogod publicly asks these days who destroyed the archives of l'Après-Rupture. It is a known fact that saboteurs deleted a big chunk of the archives of the biggest masculist organization in Quebec in 2003 and again in 2006, and huge sections of the official website l'Après-Rupture are missing: they simply disappeared overnight.

SPEAKING OF VIOLENCE...

WHICH ONE ARE YOU?

Yes, which one are you? For the most part, five groups of people are interested in the Marc Lepine phenomenon: feminists, real women, bleeding heart liberals, criminalists and masculists. All are welcome here to join and post. So which one do you belong to? Maybe the above does not describe you accurately though, and you would like perhaps to add a new category to the pool. Feel free to do so, even if you should be the only one in it. It says nowhere that one cannot be his/her own planet!
